Yeah, he’s a great player, but I’d argue Harden contributes almost the same to the teams’ victories.

Tue, 13 Mar 2012 19:14:32 +0000http://www.slamonline.com/online/?p=194601#comment-2138883Despite the Knicks current 6 game losing streak, and I might add against some quality opponents (@Celtics, @Mavs, @Spurs, @Bucks, Sixers, @Bulls) with a combined record of 150-102, I‘m still VERY VERY EXCITED about this team‘s chances during the playoffs – yes “we” are making the playoffs y’all. During the peak of “Linsanity” the Knicks were racking up 7 wins in a row against teams (Nets, Jazz, Wizards, struggling Lakers, @Wolves, @Raptors, Kings) with a combined record of 117-173. ALL of said opponents SAN the LAKERS are currently LOTTERY TEAMS if the season ended today. Another thing I’d like to add, Melo isn’t the only player rejoining the Knicks since Lin became the starting point guard and “face” of the franchise. Josh “JORTS” Harrellson and Baron Davis have rejoined the rotation. Amar’e is still being worked back into the rotation after the death of his brother. J.R. Smith is a new addition, and he still is learning how to play within this system with his teammates. If you think about it, that’s 5 NEW ADDITIONS since “Linsanity”: Amar’e, Melo, B-Diddy, Jorts, and JR. The Knicks coaching staff is tinkering with the starting lineup, and the rotations, trying to figure out what’s the best way to move forward. It’s going to take time and patience. BTW, I like the way the Knicks competed last night on the road against the Bulls, who are the best team in the EAST right now. It was a good game, and the Knicks could have stolen that game if they just finished their defensive possessions with the defensive rebound more, however, give credit to the Bulls for their offensive rebounding prowess…Taj Gibson was a beast last night. He’d look great in a Knicks uniform someday. 😉 Not to digress, but I can’t wait to watch me some NCAA Tournament. GO ORANGE! Note: I hope Syracuse faces Harvard in the Sweet 16. Licking my chops for that.

Tue, 13 Mar 2012 19:13:05 +0000http://www.slamonline.com/online/?p=194601#comment-2138879jukai – your explanation/breakdown would have some merit if last night was an isolated incident. derrick rose took 24 shots per game and shot 39% from the field in the playoffs. and that was with a full squad. this is how the bulls play and it’s a problem against teams that can keep him out of the lane. it’s not as simple as calling him a shooting guard and be done with the shot selection issues, d-rose has never played off the ball in his life. so he is the player on the floor responsible of bringing the ball up, organizing the offense and giving guys the ball in their spots. during last year’s playoffs, chicago’s offense in the last 5-6 minutes of games was rose bringing it up, taking a high screen and turning the jets to throw up a lay up or a floater – only passing out of necessity. THAT’S TERRIBLE.

Chicago is probably going to lose on talent. You can nitpick the team their flaws as a team, but every team has flaws. Chicago is probably going to lose on Talent.

Can’t see him carrying a team at all Unless, he is a teams playmaker. He would be a good pseudo first option on a team like Orlando, but even then he’d be more of a 2nd option. I like the role he had in OKC, taking a lot of pressure of RW lettin him do what he does best. (did that even answer the question?)

Tue, 13 Mar 2012 18:35:51 +0000http://www.slamonline.com/online/?p=194601#comment-2138827datkid: No, T-Money is wrong because he didn’t have all the information here. Follow me in my convoluted explanation.
Derrick Rose takes 18 shots a game, and usually plays 35 minutes. However, his backup (Watson) was out and so Rose had to play eight extra minutes. If we look at Rose’s averages of 18 shots in 35 minutes, then he will take roughly four extra shots in those eight minutes. So that’s 22 shots in 43 minutes.
Now, the team was missing two big scorers, Deng and Hamilton, plus Watson. In total, these players take slight over 33 shots a game. These shots have to be replaced by other players in the flow of the game. Well, Rose played 43 minutes and the entire team played 240 minutes… So Rose played roughly 18% of the teams minutes. He had to make up Watson/Deng/Hamilton’s offense in those 18% minutes, so he had to take just under six shots more a game to make up for their loss. That’s right under 28 shots. Still following?
Now, you can crucify Rose for taking one and a half more shots than he should be taking, but guys like Scalabrine and Butler probably aren’t going to be taking those extra shots, so give Rose an extra one, ok?
And, if you think my explanation was overly complicated and probably beyond nonsensical, then how about this: Rose played without shot attempt number 3 and shot attempt number 4 guy, and his backup was gone. He had to shoot that much to make up the difference. Watch the actual game and don’t just make baseless assumptions.

I don’t want to disrespect Dwight, but just watching LeBron playing against Gasol a week ago against the Lakers, and just his overall versitilaty, I’d vote for him. Like MJ, he’s one of those rare perimeter players that deserves both MVP and DPOY.

Now I didn’t say he’s a better true PG than CP, DWill or Rose but in terms of overrall impact on a game (defense, rebounding, scoring, and at times passing), he’s been the best. He should be in the MVP convo.

If I’d have to pick a number 1 seed to be upset I’d pick either MSU, or North Carolina, NC because of the recent loss to FSU, which really gave me some doubt, first they lose by 33! and then in the ACC final, granted it was without Henson, but still, FSU was ranked 17.

Against quality players (not a team; the Knicks) without his wingman and backup PG, without they’re newly signed ‘help’, it’s fine with me. Ofcourse I want Drose to be more efficient, If I’d ever check his stats halway through a season and his FG% reads 50%, that would be fantastic, but this guy is playing great and he’s making all the big shots. Besides, he’s winning alot.

Pass it right back to rose which resets the offense and forces rose to pull a rabbit out of his hat and create a tough shot with time running out. When fully healthy the bulls are third in the NBA in offensive efficiency and they lead the league in assists.

Cp3 shot 14 shots yesterday and came out with a similar shooting % and a loss. Rose averages 17 shots a game with Paul averaging three less, so let’s not act like he’s iverson out there. Great players do whatever their team needs them to do to win games. The bulls play the best “team” basketball in the league and the only team that can beat them in a 7 game series has 3 of the top 15 players in the game.

Also, before I went to sleep the clips were looking like they were going to run around on the Celtics. Crazy how the old men know how to compose themselves and come back. Clippers really miss chauncey and I really blame vinnie del negro because Randy Foye can ball, yet he as a coach don’t know how to incorporate players at all (just look at kenyon). It’s too late to fire him now but they need to fire him at the end of the season.

He misses some of those difficult layups or gets them blocked and if he just dunked it he wouldn’t have to worry about it.
